Hoping to be healthy

So I have given being really healthy another go. I have tried (and failed) before but I am really hopeful this time. I am going in with a different mind set. Before I never really gave portion control a lot of thought. I mean I did try to stick to a serving size. Then I would say how much could a little more hurt?! Well that obviously isn't portion control. So this time I bought a ton of ziplock bags and portioned everything out after the store trip. I am hoping the ease of just grabbing a bag will help me stay on track. My other issue was failure. If I ate some cookies I would hate myself. So this time I am allowing myself to eat cookies or pizza and be good with it. I know that as long as I try and stay healthy during the rest of the time the few times I don't will be ok! Last but not least SODA! I drink a lot of soda.........A LOT! I also drink energy drinks too......the big ones. So the calorie count alone is redic! And going diet or sugar free is not am option as artificial sweeteners is one of my migraine triggers. So soda is out. This will be really hard and I have to have some caffeine or the head aches are just as bad as a migraine but it wont be in soda form so that will be good!

WOWSER!

Not sure if that,s a word but i have not gotten this blog off to a really great start have I?! Well as I hope family over seas uses this as a way to stay connected my new years resolution is to get a fire under my butt. First I hope to get a blog facelift and some posting lessons from a friend (Hemm Hemm....paging Rachel!) Then to post the fantastic Potter party from October and the Holidays. For now I just want to say I am really happy with the place I am in now and have really good feelings for 2013!!
